Person:Martha Unknown (1009)

Martha was left a very young widow with 6 children under 10! I am not surprised that she married within 3 years! Also since two of her children, Henry and Lucinda, were born in Nebraska, I wondering if perhaps her parents had settled there. Martha's daughter, Lucinda, was born about the same year that her father Zephaniah died, perhaps born even after he died and Martha may have gone to her parents home for the birth. See below for the 1910 & 1920 census records for her son George that prove Martha was born in Nebraska.
